- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14746909, 6 years agoI love it. It is really simple to use but provides room for you to get as specific as you want using regular expressions. It doesn't add unneeded garbage that you were not looking for. It's super light-weight and won't interrupt your experience or make your youtube tab crash.
I've been using it to block clickbait channels from populating my recommended section, haven't seen the words Mojo or Buzzfeed in a while and couldn't be happier about it.
5/5 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14732321, 6 years agoI managed to get this to work. You just have to be careful about what you 'input' for blocking channels. For example:
To block channel "Creators Tutorials" you must view one of their videos. Then click on the avatar/name which is on the left side of the screen, just below the actual video. That takes you to what I call their channel home page. For the this example, the url is:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2e8r3D4hXZWVhkFJGpL7QQ
So the string to enter into the channel blocker input box is: "UC2e8r3D4hXZWVhkFJGpL7QQ", not "Creators Tutorials". After that you won't be able to find their videos, unless you use a different browser.
Sorry for the clumsy dialog. I hope this helps.
PS: "Creators Tutorials" is just a channel I picked at random. No criticism intended. I just wanted to use a real example.Developer response

Blocking a channel can be done even easier:
All you have to do is to press the 'x'-Button which is placed next to the channel name.
To be even more precise, the instructions you gave do not work with our Add-on. Channels are blocked by their name, not by their id. Therefore, it is necessary to input the channel/user name, not the id of the channel/user (assuming you are blocking manually).
If you disagree with us, please contact us under yt-cleaner(at)protonmail(dot)com, so we can solve this mystery. - Rated 5 out of 5by Trafy, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Anonymous, 6 years agoThis addon is great and everything but. When autoplay is on, videos from blocked channels get through. It would be awesome if the addon could clean the list generated by YouTube.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14517161, 6 years agoWorks with New Youtube and in tandem with Enhancer for Youtube, however once finished using the utility the x-marks will stay forever, with no option to remove them until needed once again.

We do not collect any user information.
The description of the Add-on page explains why we need these permissions in detail. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14508543, 6 years agoFine addon. Waiting Long Time for a addon like this.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14373461, 6 years agoIt worked. Just tapped the X. Then checked to see the channel was indeed out of my feed.
